India’s 70-year-old Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose image as a technocrat brought him deep approval from a middle class weary of corruption and bureaucratic dysfunction, has been accused of stifling dissent and choosing politics over public health.

As another deadly wave of COVID-19 infections was swamping India, Modi’s government refused to cancel a major Hindu festival attended by millions. Cricket matches, attended by tens of thousands, carried on, too. Source: Aljazeera

I don't know very much about this man, other than, that he
is not very well liked in his own country, some of his decisions
have been sneered at, like naming a new stadium after himself.

Now the above decision seems to be wrong, unless he is trying
to cut down the population!

I read that an Australian man trapped in India because of the Virus
has died of Covid-19, R.I.P.

Yes Mike, many Indian Aussies are trapped in India and can't get home, it's a big issue here, our borders are expected to be closed for some time.
